Bilirubin is a metabolite in the serum. A total bilirubin test result of 30 to 40 μmol/L is considered to be mildly elevated and generally not serious.
If the total bilirubin is below 34.2 μmol/L and there are no obvious clinical symptoms, no special treatment is needed. When the total bilirubin is greater than 34.2μmol/L, it is necessary to make lifestyle adjustments and monitor the bilirubin level on a regular basis, such as quitting smoking and limiting alcohol, eating a light diet, getting enough rest, and eliminating factors related to lifestyle and improper diet, such as consuming a large amount of carotenoids, which will return to normal once they are fully metabolized.
